The NFPA Structural Collapse Technician course is designed to provide the participant with a skill set allowing them to perform advanced structural collapse rescue skills after a disaster, operating as a member of a crew and using complex tools and materials.

Empact's Structural Collapse Technician course will prepare the graduate to function at the Structural Collapse Technician level, as established in NFPA 1006. Key topics include:

This course is taught by current Rescue Specialists from Empact’s Urban Search and Rescue Task Force who are also current Fire Service based technical rescue providers and instructors, with assistance from Empact's Structures Specialists, Canine Search Specialists, and Technical Search Specialists.

This is an advanced course and individuals who wish to attend must meet prerequisite requirements (Rescue Systems I, Rope Rescue Operations) and include a completion certificate with course registration.

This course is predominantly hands-on and physically demanding. A professional mindset and emphasis on safety will be mandatory at all times. Training and scenario exercises will be conducted in all weather conditions and may involve extended operational periods to simulate real world scenarios.
